I have 20+ years' experience in Human Resources at both the plant and corporate levels in manufacturing, distribution and healthcare environments. I am past president of SHRM-Memphis and past co-chair of the state conference.

I recruit only the best. I screen the candidates and check references. I view the situation from the company's perspective, i.e., would I hire this person? If it's questionable, I don't send the candidate. My reputation rides on the candidates I submit. By being a business partner and learning what the company needs as well as wants, they listen more closely to my recommendations.

I recruit differently from most recruiters because I have been on the 'other' side. I used recruiters for 20+ years before I became one, so I know what companies are looking for. I send only the best candidates. I don't float resumes because I like to protect the confidentiality of both the candidate and the company. Ethics are extremely important to me.
